Terrible film filled to the brim with crude jokes and slapstick 'humour' that anyone with two brain-cells can only roll their eyes at.
Utterly unbelievable that the apparently sane and sensible ex-wife wants anything to do with the Jim Carrey character rather than the thoroughly nice guy she gives up for a useless creep who eternally lets her and their son down, even if he is apparently a reformed person by the end. Even when he is telling the truth, the main character seems to think it is fine to tell his young son that when his mother was pregnant with him she put on weight (wow what a crime) and he lied to say she didn't look bad when he actually thought she looked like 'a cow'. Well, that's a keeper ladies!
Why do all the women in this film let him get away with it? Even his elderly secretary who walks out after learning how he had been underpaying her, mysteriously reappears at the end to bail him out of jail (without explanation) just so the film-makers can get her to make a creepy joke about him whether he's been molested in jail.
Probably says a lot about the makers of the film that his revelation moment is the main character's about face in court where he suddenly argues in favour of the defendant he is meant to be opposing - arguing to the judge in a custody case that the father is a good guy despite the fact he just proved he married her as an under-age girl - apparently we're meant to shrug this off as a mistake any decent man might make?
The whole film is yuk from start to finish. Only anyone who for reasons passing logic enjoys Carrey's manic gurning should watch, but definitely not with children present.
